Part Played by Sib Nauti s
During Makin Raid Is Revealed
By MARILYN KOEBNICK
"The advantages that would ac-
crue from routing US 12 farther north
of Ann Arbor outweigh the disadvan-
tages," Prof. John S. Worley of trans-
portation engineering said concern-
ing . controversy over new route of
Highway No. 12.
The State Highway Department
plans to reroute three highways:
US 12, US 23, and Stadium Boule-
vard. This plan will relieve Ann
Arbor's business section of heavy
freight traffic. US 12, according
to the Highway Department's pres-
ent tentative plan, will cross the
Huron River and Main Street just
south of the sodium-lighted bridge.
Continuing west from there, it
would meet the present US 12 and
US 17 a mile west of the city lim-
its. Grade separations would be
constructed wherever the- freight
highway would cross city streets.
Worley is opposed to this plan.
"Some of Ann Arbor's newest and
most beautiful residential districts are
found on that side of town," he said.
"It will create a great inconvenience
to residents living in these districts.

PEARL HARBOR, June 6-On thek
little Pacific island of Makin a Ma-I
rine in jungle green was praying and
offshore the U. S. Submarine Nautilis
was firing on a range given by a son
of the president of the United States.,
The guns of the Nautilus. firing al-
most blindly, sank a Japanese .trans-
port and enabled Col. Evans F. Carl-
son and his Marine Raiders to com-,
plete their job and come home.
Much of the success of the now
historic Makin island raid, one of
the most daring of this war, was
because of the American submarine
with a brillian career, a part of;
which now can be told.I
Captain (then commander) Wil-f
liam H. Brockman of Groton, Conn. r
packed every available inch of space
on the Nautilus with specially-t
trained Marines and set out forI
Makin. A second submarine car-t
ried additional Marine fightingf
men.I
The plan was to put the Marines
ashore for a single day in a paralyz-
ing, surpfrise attack designed to cre-
ate as much havoc as possible, bring
back information and possibly pris-
oners-there were no live Japanese
left when the Marines finally looked1
around for prisoners-and throw a
scare into the Japanese Army and
Navy.
The morning of the attack was
black and wet, but quietly and effi-
ciently the Marines lowered their
rubber boats over the side and jump-,
ed in. They were anxious to go, so
anxious they left Colonel Carlson1
aboard the sub and "We had a hell;
of a time getting a boat to come
back and pick him up.";
The attack went off exactly ac-
cording to plan-until a transport
was sighted in the lagoon. Brock-
man is modest about the point,
but the transport is believed to
have held enough Japanese to have
made the situation critical for the
comparative handful of Marines.
Major James Roosevelt, son of
the President, was ashore and in
"walkie - talkie" communication
with the submarine. Ile told of
the hazard, and gave a range.
Then the walkie-talkie faded out
and never was heard again.
A Marine non-com saw the trans-
port, too, and later told how he wor-
ried because "if the ship landed rein-
forcements we would have no chance.
Then I heard the sub's guns."
Given a preliminary range, even
though they could not see the trans-
port, the submarine gunners swept
the lagoon, being careful to keep
from placing their shells among the
Marines.
And then on the shore the Marine:
"I gave a silent prayer of thanksl
for the destruction of this ship be-
cause without its destruction I am
sure we could not have escaped."
A patrol craft also was sunk at
the same time, and the Marines
carried out their campaign of de-
struction. Offshore the Nautilus
and the second submarine waited
to take them off.
They waited while the Marines
struggled to get their little boats
through a pounding surf. Many of
the boats capsized and then the Jap-
anese planes came and the sub was
forced to submerge. Back it came
and the Marines paddled away from
short, carrying their wounded.
After a lapse of several years, the
annual outing, for engineering sen-
iors and faculty will be revived at 2
p. m. EWT (1 p. m. CWT) Saturday,
at the ball diamond near the Island.
All seventh and eighth term sen-
iors are invited by senior Social
Chairman Tom Barnes who has an-
nounced the procurement 6! ration
points guaranteeing food and refresh-
ments for everybody. A continuous
baseball game highlighted by inter-
departmental competition will be a
feature of the afternoon.
